the instructions provided in the Ford Truck Shop Manual, should not
adversely affect compliance of the completed vehicle to Standard
301.
301 (Continued)
• The body installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer
and the Ford installed fuel system components are
located and mounted as follows:
– The body is mounted securely and is so designed
that when the completed vehicle is tested in any
manner specified by applicable provisions of
Standard 301,
(a) body components do not contact any fuel
system component at any time (other than at
the points where the fuel system is permanently
attached to the body), and,
(b) body deformation or movement relative to
the frame does not cause any fuel system
component to be penetrated, disconnected, or
otherwise damaged.
– The rear end of the body (excluding the rear bumper)
installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer does
not extend beyond (overhang) the rear edge of the
vehicle frame or frame extension. Any extension of
the vehicle frame must be constructed and attached
so as to perform as a continuation of the vehicle
frame when the completed vehicle is tested in
any manner specied by applicable provisions of
Standard 301.
